They've been around longer than I have and that's 20 years.
In fact, the answer is in the website that you posted:


NAEBA was formed in the mid-1990s after industry lobbyists redefined how agency works. The creation of “dual agency” was a big win for traditional real estate brokerages, allowing the collection of real estate commissions from both the buying and selling side of the transaction, but it left home buyers at a serious disadvantage.

The first Exclusive Buyer Agency organization was REBAC...that was in the early 1990's.  

REBAC was then sold to NAR and turned into a traditional organization with strong dual agency presence.

NAEBA was then formed in 1995...I have been a member since then.  They only accept Buyer Agency offices that never represent sellers.

No, they have been around for sometime. No doubt the exclusive buyer agents (e.g., Eve Alexander comes immediately to mind) here on AR are well aware

I only found out about them recently when someone (I think Lyn Sims) posted here about their remarks on redfin's "Buy it now" button.  Obviously, not a group I'd belong to as I represent mainly sellers and have zero issue with dual agency.

If your business model is to represent only buyers, that is the group to which you should belong.

Yes, they are exclusive buyer agents only and do not accept listings. And also what Candice A. Donofrio said.

there are a few in our area.... they're made up of attorneys.... I'm on their list for referrals for listings..... they have me on file....

everyone should have proper representation..... we're listing agents....whether a buyer wants to work through us or not, we are listing agents not dual agents.....buyers need an agent.

Another club with initials that agents pay dues to. Yikes.

In the AR Peeps Group we did a really good post about all the great things a buyers agent does for the client.

  Very few people here use buyer realtors anymore. The technology replaced most and buyers go direct. Want rebate go to RF.
